Is it like the Cao Gang in the story, which has partial jurisdiction over the Grand Canal and has a 'particularly' close relationship with the government of the towns along the way?

It has even penetrated into the Caoyun Yamen?

No matter which point, it is unacceptable today!

It makes me uncomfortable to think about how a mere Jianghu gang could usurp so many and important powers of the imperial court.

The first three novels have already gained a reputation and considerable influence due to their quality.

It was just because Caobang needed help in drying sea salt, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, but at this time he had to think more.

Xue Pan was a little unconvinced. Although he knew that his sister had a much brighter brain than him, he felt a little embarrassed when his sister lectured him like this.

Of course, influenced by this novel, today I am also wary of my own adult sons, as well as the princes and princes born to the emperor.

Aunt Xue just smiled and watched Xue Pan make the decision. Although she felt that something was inappropriate, she had no intention of stopping him.

In the old residence of the Xue family in the capital, Xue Pan was sitting in the hall shouting, his face flushed with excitement.

Aunt Xue was very dissatisfied. After all, the head of the Xue family was Xue Pan. Xue Baochai, the younger sister, was so disrespectful. What if the stewards and shopkeepers below saw it?

"Brother, haven't you heard that in the novel, the villain is the Caobang?"

A best-selling novel not only makes the bookstore make money, but also brings a lot of benefits to everyone who handles it.

How long did it take for the Cao Gang to develop in the story?

During the Yongle period of the former Ming Dynasty, the capital was moved from Jinling to Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty. At the same time, it was announced to abandon sea transportation and vigorously develop water transportation. It was then that Caobang began to develop.

Apart from anything else, when Xue Pan came back this time, he looked much heavier than before, and Aunt Xue was very satisfied.

The total sales volume of his three previous novels reached hundreds of thousands of copies, bringing a considerable income of tens of thousands of taels of silver to the Xue Family Study Room.

He had just returned from the south and heard that a new novel had been released. Because he had just walked a long way, he was physically and mentally exhausted, so he did not go directly to the restaurant to listen to the storyteller's story. Instead, he invited the storyteller from his restaurant to listen alone.

The jurisdiction of the Grand Canal, how important is that authority?

In Daqian, as the most important and main channel for communication between north and south, the Grand Canal can be called a river full of gold.

"Wonderful, this novel is really wonderful!"

As a result, Xue Baochai came back from Jinmen. He was originally happy, but suddenly he heard Xue Pan talking about this matter and couldn't help but talk about it.

Aunt Xue didn't have any opinions. Seeing that Xue Baochai spoke eloquently and her son Xue Pan didn't refute anything, she naturally wanted to follow Xue Baochai's wishes.

"In order to obtain the publishing rights for his novels, we have made considerable efforts and sacrifices. How will we explain to him if we suddenly stop publishing?"

Hearing the sound, Aunt Xue, Xue Pan and Xue Baochai stood up in a hurry and greeted Uncle Xue who strode through the door.

"Why does the second uncle think so? Does it mean that there is something wrong with what my niece said?"

After everyone sat down again, Xue Baochai couldn't wait to speak: "Am I wrong? There is no need for the Xue family to take the initiative to compete with the Caobang!"

Second Uncle Xue glanced at Xue Baochai lightly, and said with a chuckle: "If we follow the rules of the business world, what you said makes sense, Baochai. Unfortunately, our Xue family cannot act like this in the matter of Ning Mansion. It will cause big problems...
